2027 Ram 2500 HD: What’s New, Specs, Trims & Capability
The 2027 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty delivers 1,075 lb-ft of torque and 20,000 lbs of maximum diesel towing capacity. Best-in-class gas payload of 4,580 lbs gives it an edge over the prior generation in real-world work scenarios. This page covers every trim, spec, and new feature, with current inventory available at Fillback CDJR.
What’s New for 2027
The headline addition for 2027 is new HEMI V8 exterior badging that identifies trucks equipped with the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine. That badge is a small cosmetic change, but it signals a larger story: Ram has continued refining a truck that already carries the strongest numbers in its class rather than redesigning for redesign’s sake.
The 2027 Ram 2500 remains the most capable Ram Heavy Duty ever built. Key 2027 markers include:
- Standard Snowplow Prep capability, 220-Amp Alternator and Snowplow Prep Wiring, on every build, which matters for Wisconsin winters in Boscobel, Richland Center, and Prairie du Chien alike.
- Class-exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control that works down to 0 mph even with a trailer attached.
- The largest-in-class available 14.5-inch Uconnect touchscreen, still the benchmark in this segment.
- Class-exclusive available rear auto-level air suspension for faster, easier trailer hitching.
For buyers in southwest Wisconsin who put their trucks to work year-round, the snowplow prep and payload numbers are the most decision-relevant additions.
Trim Lineup
The 2027 Ram 2500 is available across nine trims from work-ready base configurations to high-end luxury cab options. Each trim serves a distinct buyer, from fleet operators who need maximum payload to off-road crews who need factory-ready capability out of the gate.
Tradesman
The Tradesman is the work-first entry point for the Ram 2500 lineup. It is built around the features contractors and fleet operators need most: standard Snowplow Prep capability, class-exclusive standard Adaptive Cruise Control, and a straightforward cabin that prioritizes function. Speak with a Fillback team member to confirm current Tradesman configurations and availability.
Black Express
The Black Express is an appearance-focused trim built on the Tradesman foundation. It adds blacked-out exterior elements for buyers who want a more aggressive look without stepping away from the work-truck price point. Contact Fillback for current Black Express availability.
Warlock
The Warlock builds on the base work-truck platform with sport-influenced styling cues and additional exterior content. It targets buyers who want a truck with a distinct personality alongside full heavy-duty capability. Ask a Fillback team member about Warlock inventory at any southwest Wisconsin location.
Big Horn
The Big Horn adds comfort and convenience features over the entry trims without moving away from the truck’s core work identity. It is a popular choice for buyers who want daily-driver comfort alongside full heavy-duty capability. Contact Fillback for current Big Horn availability at any southwest Wisconsin location.
Laramie
The Laramie steps into premium territory with upgraded interior materials, additional technology features, and a more refined cabin finish. It targets buyers who spend significant time in the cab and want that time to be comfortable. Ask a Fillback team member about Laramie configurations in stock.
Rebel
The Rebel is the sport-performance trim in the Ram 2500 lineup. It pairs an aggressive exterior package with heavy-duty capability, targeting buyers who want a truck that performs on the road as confidently as it does on a job site. Speak with a Fillback team member to confirm Rebel availability in stock.
Power Wagon
The Power Wagon is the off-road specialist of the Ram 2500 lineup. It pairs heavy-duty capability with a standard 12-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment screen, making it one of the most technology-forward off-road trucks in its class. The Power Wagon also offers the class-exclusive available factory-installed integrated front winch, a feature no competitor offers from the factory. Ground clearance of 13.2 inches supports serious off-road use without aftermarket lift work.
Limited
The Limited is a top-tier luxury configuration in the Ram 2500 lineup. Leather seats, real wood and aluminum accents, and the highest level of standard technology content define this trim. The Limited brings the 2500’s maximum towing and payload numbers into a cabin that competes with premium SUVs on interior quality.
Limited Longhorn
The Limited Longhorn sits at the top of the Ram 2500 lineup and builds on the Limited with Western-influenced styling cues and additional luxury content. Real wood accents and premium leather are part of the package. It is the choice for buyers who want a truck that reflects a working ranch or farm aesthetic without giving up modern capability.

Performance & Powertrain
Two engines power the 2027 Ram 2500.
6.4L HEMI V8
The base engine is a naturally aspirated 6.4L HEMI V8. It delivers a best-in-class gas payload of 4,580 lbs and tows up to 17,750 lbs when properly equipped. The HEMI pairs with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission. For buyers who do not require diesel efficiency or diesel-grade towing, the HEMI provides a lower-maintenance entry point with genuine heavy-duty output.
High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6
The available diesel option is the High-Output 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6, producing 430 hp at 2,800 rpm and 1,075 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 rpm. Maximum diesel towing reaches 20,000 lbs. The diesel also features a smart exhaust brake, enhanced cold-start capability, and advanced air flow improvements for consistent performance in cold-weather states like Wisconsin. The diesel transmission is the TorqueFlite HD 8-speed automatic.
That 1,075 lb-ft arrives early in the rev range at 1,800 rpm, meaning full pulling power is available at low speeds where heavy loads demand it most.
Ground clearance sits at 13.2 inches. The standard bed runs 6.33 feet. Maximum GVWR reaches 11,040 lbs.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The 2027 Ram 2500 interior is built around the idea that a hard-working truck should be comfortable enough to spend all day in. Front seating options include a 40/20/40 split-folding bench or available bucket seats. Rear seating offers three different 60/40 split-folding configurations.
Mega Cab models add class-exclusive reclining rear seats and class-exclusive forward fold-flat rear seats, providing genuine versatility for crews who need both passenger capacity and cargo room in the same truck.
Storage options include in-floor Ram Bins in Crew Cab models, a center console rear cubby bin, and the available RamBox Cargo Management System in the bed. A 115-volt outlet powers devices for rear passengers. Onboard power reaches up to 2.4 kilowatts, best-in-class for available onboard power.
The Limited and Limited Longhorn trims bring leather seats alongside real wood and aluminum accents. Interior materials scale with trim level, so buyers can match the interior finish to the work the truck is doing.
Crew Cab models with an 8-foot bed offer a class-leading available 50-gallon fuel tank, which extends range between fill-up stops on long hauls across rural Wisconsin.
Technology & Infotainment
The 2027 Ram 2500 carries the largest-in-class available 14.5-inch Uconnect touchscreen. A 12-inch Uconnect 5 screen is standard on the Power Wagon. Both screens run Uconnect 5 NAV, which supports up to five personalized driver profiles and tow-specific navigation.
Connectivity includes wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto with Google Gemini integration, and available Ram Connect One services for remote start, vehicle finder, and climate pre-conditioning.
Additional tech features:
- Available 12-inch digital cluster display with full-color 3D graphics, turn-by-turn navigation, trailer tire pressure monitoring, and off-road pages.
- Available 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display, class-exclusive.
- Class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads with active ventilation to keep devices cool.
- Available digital rearview mirror with LCD monitor and rear-facing camera feed, compatible with available tow mode camera and exterior mirror cameras for full trailer surround visibility.
- Trailer Reverse Steering Control uses a steering knob to manage trailer direction while the system controls the truck’s steering wheel.
- Available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring for up to four trailers, delivered to the digital cluster.
- Available 17-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system with 900 watts and Interior Active Noise Cancellation.
- Available 360-degree surround view camera.
Safety & Driver Assistance
The 2027 Ram 2500 includes over 100 standard and available safety and security features. Standard items include blind spot monitoring, hill descent control, and class-exclusive standard adaptive cruise control that operates down to 0 mph with a trailer.
Available safety systems include:
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, functions even with a trailer attached
- LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- Drowsy Driver Detection with audible and visual alerts
- Traffic Sign Recognition displayed in the digital cluster or available head-up display
- Rear Seat Reminder Alert
- LED trailer hitch light built into the tailgate handle area for better visibility during hookup
The standard Snowplow Prep package, 220-Amp Alternator and Snowplow Prep Wiring, is a safety-adjacent feature that ensures the electrical system handles plow loads without strain, important for any Ram 2500 buyer who plans to work through a Wisconsin winter.
Who It’s For / vs the Prior Year
The 2027 Ram 2500 is the right truck for buyers who need real heavy-duty work numbers, not just the appearance of them. A 20,000-lb diesel towing capacity and 4,580-lb gas payload are not marketing approximations. They are verified capability figures that contractors, farmers, and fleet operators in Boscobel, Prairie du Chien, and Richland Center can plan around.
Compared to the prior model year, the 2027 update sharpens the HEMI V8 identity with new exterior badging, maintains best-in-class payload, and carries forward the class-exclusive Adaptive Cruise Control standard fitment that competitors still charge extra for or do not offer at all.
For buyers who were on the fence between a gas and diesel Ram 2500, the 2027 lineup makes the choice straightforward: the HEMI V8 handles payload-first work where gas infrastructure matters, and the Cummins diesel is the choice when maximum towing and long-haul torque are the priority.
The Power Wagon remains the off-road trim to consider for buyers who need factory-installed winch capability, 13.2 inches of ground clearance, and go-anywhere confidence without aftermarket modifications.
